Shell PANOLIN Products
Shell PANOLIN Biodegradable Lubricants
Reducing environmental impact without compromising performance
High-performance biodegradable lubricants help customers manage product-related sustainability requirements while protecting their equipment and the ecosystems in which they operate. Many Shell PANOLIN products carry eco-label certifications.
For customers looking to take concrete steps toward improving sustainability, Shell PANOLIN offers a straightforward solution.
A complete range of biodegradable lubricants for a wide range of equipment applications.
Temperature
High viscosity index provides reliable operation across a wide temperature range.
Pressure, speed and loading
Designed to deliver shear stability, wear protection, anti-wear properties and strong load-carrying capabilities.
Environment
Designed to withstand dust and water contamination, contributing to equipment longevity through rust and corrosion protection.
The Shell PANOLIN range includes high-performance S4 lubricants designed to operate equipment without compromise. These fluids help extend oil life compared to unsaturated ester-type fluids, supporting potential cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and less downtime.
Hydraulics
Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for a wide range of applications and viscosity requirements.
Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth 32, 46 and 68 are Bosch Rexroth-approved biodegradable hydraulic oils designed to support uninterrupted equipment operation. Lifetime fill applications are common, as longer oil change intervals mean less production, purchase, and disposal.
Gears
Helps protect gearbox components from wear and contamination, supporting reliable equipment operation. Improve productivity with effective lubrication that helps equipment meet its capacity and operate at optimal efficiency.
Greases
Increase system efficiency, extend equipment service life, and improve productivity with Shell PANOLIN biodegradable greases. They help maintain or even improve system efficiency under demanding operating conditions.
UTTO Fluids
Shell PANOLIN Biofluid ZFH is a readily biodegradable universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) with good thermal aging stability.
Wire Rope Fluids
Fully synthetic wire rope lubricants based on renewable esters, designed for excellent adhesion and reduced friction.
Engine Oil
Saturated synthetic ester-based engine oils for modern Euro 4, 5 and 6 diesel engines.
